• Slurry Coatings – MoniPlex® -- MoniPlex® ceramic and metallic coatings are applied as liquid slurry which naturally flows over the surface of almost any shape, including internal diameters as small as 0.5 mm. They are totally dense, pore free and the coating exhibits a spinel-like bond layer with the component • Slurry Coatings – SealPlex® -- The SealPlex® ranges of coatings are used to surface seal and fill the porosity in other materials. SealPlex® densification process, a single phase ceramic layer is chemically bonded into and over the porous outer layer. The SealPlex® coating also improves surface hardness, corrosion resistance and frictional properties
